i agree. bipolar disorder should never be diagnosed in children. all children are bipolar if you go by the diagnostic criteria. instead of psychotropic meds, what children need is good parenting.

I completely agree that bipolar disorder is over-diagnosed and children (and adults too) are unnecessarily put on expensive medications which have serious side effects. This is happening with other conditions and medications as well. ADHD/ritalin, ED/viagra, and depression/SSRIs, to name a few. I am glad to see a physician point this out and demand stronger evidence before prescribing strong drugs.

Well, I was never diagnosed, but my parents thought I had bipolar... eg depression/aggression alternating with euphoria. My daughter used to be constantly hysterical... My son aggressive. My niece was diagnosed with "Asperger's syndrome". We all have one thing in common: Food Intolerance. We all act perfectly normally when we eliminate from our diets preservatives, flavours, colours, amines, salycilates, glutamates and, to a lesser extent, wheat and milk.
